Ed Sheeran getting canceled for canceling Macklemore at the behest of the anti-cancel culture crowd is trippy.

Genuinely abundant, cheap, accessible energy has vastly more liberatory potential than AI, for vastly more people -- especially more poor people. Which, I guess, is your answer.

It’s official: the Nerd Reich podcast is getting banned from YouTube….the week of my book launch! Incredible timing, since I’ll be all over the media next week talking about tech fascism. They can delete my account. They can’t stop my work. Buy the book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Finally. The current situation - correct answer hidden behind a paywall, while the AI/LLM answer which may or may not be correct is free - is untenable.

Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan are funding an app to attack journalists. Getting smeared by "Objection AI" will become a badge of honor for reporters. I'm glad to see them deepening their relationship just in time for my book, which exposes that very subject. "The Nerd Reich" drops 8/18/26.

Noticing some pro-AI leftists saying the power of this technology should be harnessed for Marxian ends, and well….The problem there is that firstly the conceptualisation of ‘AI’ as AI is counter Marxist in that a commodity is being anthropomorphised and social relations commodified..

I'm despondent about the loss of life and waste, but the world needs an energy shock, specifically a fossil hydrocarbon shock. Many countries have attempted to take action on climate change, only to have their efforts undermined by well funded fossil interest.

8/ The biggest loser? The *billions* in the Global South for whom food and fuel aren't portfolio line items — they're survival. Energy shocks of this scale kill people. Slowly, invisibly, and without a Bloomberg terminal to track it.

On the one hand YouTube is a giant radicalisation machine that is pushing existing global political structures to breaking point. On the other, there’s ALWAYS a video by a retired handymen showing how to fix the door slide on your specific brand of kitchen drawer. So I’m calling it a score draw.

Does anyone actually care if Albo gets a meeting with Trump, or just the media class? Trump is a grifter and a lier, will say one thing and do the other. Unless there is some imminent threat to Australia's security, I see zero value in it.
